Sabres looking at Atkinson

A New York Rangers fan, Atkinson said the Washington Capitals have been the
most aggressive team that has scouted him. The Florida Panthers, New York
Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, Columbus Blue Jackets and
Colorado Avalanche have also expressed interest in Atkinson, who was the prep
school league's second-leading scorer last season.
If Atkinson is drafted, the team that selects him will evaluate him and decide where he fits in within the organization.

The determined Atkinson, 19, plays with speed and hustle on every shift. At 5'8, 165-pounds, his small yet wide frame goes hard into the
corners, and with a scorer's touch, just might conjure up images of
another diminutive icer from Chestnut Hill - Nathan Gerbe.
